I have been playing pool for about 30 years once a week with friends. I played since 2012 with a beautiful Meucci cue. I am now retired and have been shooting about 1 hour a day and decided to get serious watching videos etc. I have recently purchased 2 Pechauers and a Cuetec Cynergy in C fiber. I know it is the Indian not the arrow but I love beautiful cues and enjoy finding just the right one. I am in Concord NC and like reading AZBilliards.

That's a sharp Predator SP. I have one just like it i got 15ish years ago.Good afternoon all.
Eddie here, from Eastern North Carolina. Originally from Puerto Rico, but stayed in CONUS once I retired from the Marines. Just finished my career in Navy Aviation.
I have been playing for around 25 years. I was considered to be a fairly accomplished player back home, especially in my late teens, at least on my general area, an played plenty of tournaments back home; just 8 ball with either bar rules or BCA rules. Usually ended up winning or in the semi finals. My self evaluation of how well I played had a quick reality check when I moved stateside, especially with the 9" tables (not the norm back home and hard to find there) and the strong competition in 9 ball that is predominant here. I did attend tournaments here, several runner ups, third and fourth places, and somehow I jokingly acquired the nickname "Fast Eddie"; I guess I walked right into that one when I started hanging around the local pool hall and making friends there; of your name is Eddie, the "fast" part will be added quickly. But, I am nearly not as good as I was in my late teens on a bar box playing 8 ball. Now I am just an occasional player at the county recreational center due to some unfortunate circumstances; I do not think I will ever be an accomplished or top regional player again. I never wanted to be a pro, just a good overall player capable of break and runs. My other loves are Chess and competition shooting.
I will share my story with pool later on, as I have not shared it with many folks before. Looking forward to some interactions here as well as showing off some equipment.
I believe this is the only picture I have of me playing pool, circa 2011 on an overseas forward operating base.
This is my nice "I feel confident and playing good" getup:

Then, this is my "I want to be unnoticed and do not pay attention to my crappy playing" getup:

Last, a recently bought Schmelke 4 point rosewood cue with a few custom touches and a Kielwood shaft that actually plays well and was a good value for the buck.
Glad to be here!
Respectfully;

Hello Everyone, Quick intro. I'm Cobey I've been playing pool for roughly 30 years. Started by seeking into the teen center when I was 11 and taught myself to play on their two 9 foot Brunswicks. By 15, I was playing in tournaments with adults, probably the only competitor whose mom dropped him off at the pool hall.
In college I was the president of the billiards club and I've played in APA leagues around the US.
I've always loved billiards as a sport, the people, the physics, and the competition.
